Written as a poem in 1855 by Joseph Scriven, later set to this tune by Charles Converse and made popular by Ira Sankey in the 1870's -- "What A Friend We Have In Jesus". God Bless You.

Written in 1912 by George Bennard after his meditations on John 3:16 -- "The Old Rugged Cross" is a favorite in many churches. My prayer is that this will be encouragement for someone to go fellowship and worship somewhere tomorrow. God Bless.

In 1904, William L. Thompson composed this tune. "Jesus Is All The World To Me" is viewed by some as too intimate and not reverent enough, but if you have this kind of relationship with Christ, then this song is powerful.

Written by Helen Howarth Lemmel in 1922 as she was facing blindness due to a degenerative eye condition; she proved how powerful FAITH can be. So I humbly ask you to show your FAITH by getting into a Christ centered Church and worshipping with others that are focused on our Lord.

An English clergyman, bishop, and hymnwriter, Thomas Ken wrote this in 1674. "The Doxology" serves as a call and blessing to people to PRAISE GOD. I'm thankful for those brothers and sisters I get to sing this one with whenever we gather for worship. Praise be to God!

Written by Lay Preacher in 1842. Englishman William Walford didn't allow his blindness to hamper sharing the Gospel. He shared this poem with a friend who had it published in the New York Observer in 1845. Famous composer William Bradbury included it in his book of hymns in 1861.
